Holland, regarded themselves as exiles But all hope of going back to England final ly died away. There had been an old idea of migrating to America. This was revived. They all had desire to return to England, to live under it's protection and for their chill dren to speak the English language. But they said, if we can have country of our own, even though it be a wilderness three thousand miles away, we can have English schools and our children can be educated. It was finally decided by the major part to at tempt to form colony in America. They were not adventurers. They were not in search of l wealth. They had no worldly ambitions to gratify. Religious liberty for themselves and children was their only thought. Several places were suggested to land at. They decided to apply to the Virginia com- \ pany of London for grant of land. Then comes long record of petitions and discus sions. At last they were ready to make ready for removal. The last night in Delft | Haven was spent in prayer.
 l MT. Twitchell vividly told of what a ter | rible voyage they had to get to America, how l the storms ragged and winter being near at hand.
 l At last they rounded the cape and cast l anchor in Plymouth bay. It was December. No shelter yet. No success seemed to have been had until toward the middle of Decem- Der. Finally, on the 20th of December, 1920, these Pilgrims landed at Plymouth on the day now known as "Forefathers' day" and worthy of commemoration while the world shall stand.
 Notice that in conclusion the Pilgrims before landing drew up and signed civil compact for their government, and that that compact, drawn up and signed in the cabin of the Mayhower, was the bulk of popular constitutional liberty.
 1 It was then near the close of December.
 This little heroic band had scarcely begun their settlement on what is now known as
 "Burial Hill' in that historic town. The
 whole company was divided into families, l nineteen in number.
 On Jan. 9, 1891, the first building was | erected. Then the work of sheltering the
 families went slowly forward, the men
 could only work in the intervals of wild
 storms which ragged in that winter. In these
 months one-half of the Pilgrim band were
 dead, and those living were scarce able te
 bury the dead. At last the warm south
 winds came; but other perils were at hand hunger and hostile Indians. Thus those frightful months and years went by until
 schools and churches were founded and the | wheels O. government set in motion.
 Had the landing of the Pilgrims been ef
 fected in the far south, as at first proposed 1 or in Virginia, as was next proposed; or or
 the banks of the Hudson, as was finally pro
 posed, New England would never have beer
 reclaimed nor the sturdy strength of New
 England character ever developed. Hac
 New England been colonized hundred year.
 before then the institutions of old Englane l l would have been planted here and the Roman
 Catholic religion would have been the relig ion of America.

A Housing Meettng-AbIe Addresses
 and Many Signatures to the Total
 Abstinence Pledge.
 Long before the time for the beginning of the exercises at the meeting of the Good Sa- maritan temperance society at Samaritans' hall last night every seat was taken. Many persons were turned away in consequence of the crowd. Two able and interesting ad- dresses were delivered. The speakers were Dr. Pardee, the father of Judge HE. Pardee, and Charles H. Fowler. President Dickinson made plea for signatures and in response a large number of persons came forward and signed the total abstinence pledge. A quar- tette consisting of the Davis brothers and Mir. Collins rendered two vocal selections, which elicited merited applause. Messrs. Roberts and Sheehan sang two selections in their usual felicitous manner.
 At the meeting last Saturday evening Vice President Cameron gave 8 highly interesting sketch of his experience, in which he referred to the circumstances in connection with his first drink of liquor and also of his last drink. His remarks deeply impressed his hearers. Remarks were also made by Brothers Beirne, Smith. Pallman and others. An organist has been engaged for the Saturday evening meet

Many interested in the prizes like to place their coupon in the box themselves, while others who purchase tickets for their friends like to deliver the ticket complete. Still other friends of the Grand Army would like to aid the cause by purchasing season ticket, but do not care to participate in the prizes and hence would not deposit their cou- pon at all.

In the evening pr. Twitehell again took
 up the same subject and proceeded further
 with the doings of the Puritans and Pill grims, taking the same text as in the morn
 ing. There was large congregation present
 to hear him.
 The sufferers st Scrooby and in other parts of England began to smuggIe themselves to Amsterdam. Many got oyer to Holland, some at one time, some at another, when they met together with no small rejoicingl Thus the Puritans became Pilgrims; when, all over England and in parts of Scotland, the question arose: Who are these, our coun- trymen, and what evil have they done?
 Who were they2 They were not fanatics, nor were they wild enthusiasts. In no sense were they dangerous members of society; nor were they fortune seekers, though they were under what some have called "supersti- ton of the most" Some of them had been trained in the English universities, were skilled in learning and in the controversies of their age. All of them were honest and earnest believers in Jesus Christ. The only curse of these Puritans, now becoming Pill grims, was that while they rendered to Cesar the things that are Caesars, they would not render to Casar the things that are Gods. They were voluntary exiles for conscience sake, and becoming exiles they sacrificed everything of 8 worldly nature. In that low country of the Netherland they were armed with faith, if not with wealth and so in the end they conquered.
 The church in Amsterdam was continually 1 increased by exile and fugitives from Eng Iand: The church organized by them pros pereo. In Leyden the London church grew 70 membership of three hundred and be- | came the model church of all Europe in that age.
